the first day i got my car, i immediately had driven on the track 44miles with an average of 7mile per gallon!! which means all-too speedy @ 150MPH!!

When i finally reached low on the gas meter, finally i knew too well how fast this car eats 92octane fuel (@150mph), and how deeply gas is going to cost me, and how much interest i shared with other new ideas to save gas.

I know someone who is getting 41mpg on his pontiac which is the same engine as in the toyota fit and toyota corola...he told me some tips he found on edmunds.

heres the link.

i will try to see how much more i can get out of a gallon!

 

22mpg... you know its a G35 and not a prius right?
Dont mind, i guess im just jealous that i cant drive "steady" with this car...

 

Thanks kool_yaar. I understand what you mean. gas prices are up $4.00 but only for a while im making the effort to make the G35 beat the EPA rating:17city - 20avrg - 24hwy!

in between for a good month i maintained a solid 20mpg with steady+some fun driving and i must say it was satisfying.. anyways keep it up and encourage ppl like me to do the same

 

You went 150 mph on what track?

Thanks for the info, and good for you for being interested in higher mileage, and successfully trying it out. I find that whenever I think about the low mileage of my G, I can baby it up to 18 - 19 mpg (city). Then I remember why I bought it, and the mileage drops back to 15

 

^^^^ so true, oh so true...

 

And averaged 7 MPG on his first tank of gas. I don't think he followed the manufacturer's recommended break-in procedure!

 

Ya his break in doesnt look good... can we say lease??

 

I get 20.6 daily driving ... and can get 24 on the hw...

 

this is why u never buy off lease cars...god save me if i bought his car...

 

none the less .. enjoy your car bro. cars are just cars afterall. can always be replaced but make sure you're doing things in a safe environment

 

Have to agree there, i will enjoy my car, i just waited for about 1800 miles before enjoying it, and i respect "maintain" it...

 

During the first week of my new car i drove to Las Vegas for the NASCAR prix (late feb_early mar).....

and oh to get my adrenalin rush there's Mayhem Madness every other friday at the LV race track.

heres a pic of my car and my friends type S

 

I drove my car all highway at 70mph for the first 400 miles (its highly recommended to vary the RPM range during the so called "break in" and not do alot of highway driving where the RPM's stay constant) and then drove it like i stole it every mile there after (currently at 53k) and my car has never had one problem and has ran like a champ. I also switched to full synthetic oil after 2,000 miles (its not recommended until after 10k)

So the manufacturer recommended break-in can kiss my a$$!
-GP-

 

I've been doing this off and on for almost a year now, to save a little on fuel.
I had no idea there was a name for this or that other people were as genius as I. Huh...
